Our Favorite All-Around Putting Drill! (for any skill level)

The “10 Tee, 30 Putt” Drill
@malosigolf shows us how to go through the drill

-STEP 1: To set this drill up, find a flat putt on the practice green.  From here, take 10 tees and put one in the ground at 4 feet away from the hole, then another straight back at 5 feet, 6 feet, and so on until you get to 14 feet.
-STEP 2: With three balls, you are going to hit putts from every station starting at 4 feet and working your way all of the way back to 14 feet, totaling 30 putts. 
-STEP 3: In order to complete the drill, you must make at least 18 out of 30 putts across all of the stations (i.e. 60% make rate). 

-PRO TIP #1: You can certainly ratchet the minimum number of putts made goal up or down according to your skill level. Think you can make more than 18? Set the goal higher and tell yourself you can’t leave the green until you reach your goal! 

-PRO TIP #2: If you want to take it to another level, find a breaking putt that you struggle with. For example, if you aren’t super comfortable with left-to-right putts, set the stations up on a putt that breaks this way and see if you can complete the drill there.

The Takeaway
Why this drill is great

This drill truly incorporates all aspects of putting and makes you focus on making more putts in order to achieve your goal. Here’s why we love it:

-1ST: The varying stations help you work on speed control with putts of varying lengths.
-2ND: The repetition helps you develop a more consistent stroke and trains your brain to see more putts go in the hole. The brain science here really matters - if you never make anything in practice, you certainly won’t make more putts during your round!
-3RD: Because you’re not lining up each putt, you’ll develop more feel over the ball instead of relying on alignment aids. 
-4TH: This drill also helps you push yourself to new heights and puts your putting stroke under a bit of pressure, a very valuable skill when a tournament or bet is on the line. For example, if you make it to the last station and you have holed 16 putts, you better make 2 out of the next 3 putts or you are starting over again! 

This is one of our go-to drills to make you really concentrate while practicing instead of going through the motions. Being able to customize the game and make it harder or easier dependent upon skill level makes it great for all handicaps.

And if you can’t seem to reach that magical number of 18 putts made, don’t worry - we have many more great putting drills coming your way soon.
